Major usability changes:

  • Pandas. cirq.TrialResult now has a data property that returns results as a pandas.DataFrame, providing access to all of pandas' convenience methods for working with data.
  • Qudit support. Added cirq.Qid.dimension and cirq.Operation._qid_shape_, as well as validation and simulator support.
  • Packaging. Package variant cirq[contrib] with requirements for cirq.contrib. Unstable package cirq-unstable tracking master.
  • Serialization. cirq.to_json and cirq.from_json methods can serialize (..almost) any cirq object.
  • Deterministic randomness. Almost all methods with random behavior now take a seed or numpy.Random instance.
  • Dropped support for python 2.7 and python 3.5.

New protocols:

  • cirq.equal_up_to_global_phase / _equal_up_to_global_phase_
